MODERATORS
Sherri Tenpenny for the Department of Health and Human Services. Tenpenny is an anti-vaccine activist who promoted the disproven idea that vaccines turn people magnetic. She is currently being sued by the Department of Justice for failing to pay $650,000 in taxes.
Tulsi Gabbard for “Peace Abroad.”
Vivek Ramaswamy for a possible position within the Department of Education.
This is a joke, right?
We are going to die.
Since then, she said, she has heard from “thousands and thousands” of other parents who had become disillusioned with what she described as “the fascism of the Democratic party,” such as “mandatory vaccines or maybe medication down the road.” she said. “We already have mandatory chemotherapy that kids have to get—you can get your kid taken away from you if you don’t give them chemo if they have cancer.”
Regarding the vaccines: they’re mandatory for spending time with other children, which is reasonable, as it’s the only way to protect children with suppressed immune systems from communicable diseases while in places like schools.
Regarding the mandatory chemo: Christian scientists ruined it for you, I’m sorry. We can’t trust parents to act in the best interests of the children in their care, because a bunch of parents refused things like tetanus shots and antibiotics, and children died for no good reason. A possible solution would be to have the patient’s doctors decide with input from the parent (s) and patient themselves, but I suspect that would go over even worse.
